GBAtemp Tempmas Mini-Competition #16

[Dylaan]

Wow! I actually knew all the answers without cheating!

Spoiler

It was Allah's fault...

 

[m3rox]

such easy questions this time

 

[golden]

how do you guys check IP addresses of emails if that's the only way to enter? This quiz was so incredibly easy that I have a feeling there will be A LOT of people that make bogus accounts just to enter 20 more times if there is no way to check for IP's.

 

[Salamantis]

Im confused as to what you're asking on question 6

Q6. Which non-Nintendo console featured the only 3 universally derided Zelda games?

What is that asking? Which non nintendo console had 3 zelda games on it?

I don't get it either.

EDIT: the question changed to "3 universally and critically hated", better

 

[iPikachu]

maybe, just maybe, i'll go google.

it wasn't that hard for you guys to complain. If you don't know what a word means then look it up. it wasn't that hard or misleading to warrant the staff changing the question's wording.

Well i'm sorry but, i am trying to write a 6 page essay and try to enter the competition as well so i didn't exactly have the time to look it up.

Could one of the staff members delete my entry and pm me when you do so i may re-enter?

 

[Pyrofyr]

Haha, I forgot to do these until today. Today's is really easy though!

EDIT: I totally preferred the initial wording. :] That way only the people who have a decent vocabulary (or enough time to google, cause I know the non-lazy people totally will .-.) can win!

 

[neonix]

Pretty good quiz. It will be a challenge for any new or young gamers, or those who don't know their gaming history. Good luck to all!

 

[imgod22222]

I'm 17... I'm not a young gamer... and idk any of these.

(though i have ideas for 1 and 2)

Out of curiosity, what have the prizes been for the last few competitions?

Mainly it's a flashcart, or some kind of combination with flashcarts..
The thing is, we have a list of possible prizes (mainly with flashcarts), so winner gets to choose from the list of things we offer for that compo, so that way, winners get something they actually prefer (instead of getting something that they already own)..

 

[Cermage]

oh wow. this one must be one of easiest quizes i've had to do. haha

 

[Banger]

I only know 3 or 4 of the answers off the top of my head and have not time to look for the others

Basically have 13 mini history reports that need to be done by X-mas :-/

Are you contacting us via the forum or by email address?
I hope that there is some Edge left.

By the way, the Quiz was easy, but like neonix, it's not that easy for everyone.

are you joking me? seriously? it takes no more than 20 seconds to look up a word you don't know.

Step 1: Put cursor in address bar
Step 2: Type "dictionary.com"
Step 3: Type unknown word
Step 4: Read definition

No matter what page essay you have to write if you really don't have 20 seconds to look up a word you shouldn't even be on GBATemp anyway so don't even try to bring up something like that. That was ridiculous to say "i don't have 20 seconds but I am on here to enter the comp". Oxymoron at its finest.

It would probably also be beneficial for you to learn a new word SINCE you are writing an essay.

Guys, it's alright, the word has been changed. Not everyone has a firm grasp of the English language. Don't worry about it, just enjoy the competition.

enjoy could perhaps be replaced with a more sophisticated word in your post please?

like perhaps:
relish
dote on
savor
canonize

 

[Translucentbill]

You know what never mind, just delete my fucking entry.

I asked one fucking question and then it starts all this bullshit.

How is it that having someone just re-word the question makes me not have a firm grasp on the English language?

JUST because i wanted you to reword the question.

Well ace...

Fuck you

That it could, my good sir, that it could.
